Good news, I got my motor back in my camaro and up and running. So once I button up a few things on it, we are going to put the 383 on the motor stand and start building it.

I also have a NHRA inspector coming over this week to inspect the cage to see if the door bar will cert. If not I will have to redo it. We'll see.

Well I had the NHRA tech guy at my shop today to inspect the cage..... he said the driver side door bar is to low.
So I called the guy who did the cage and talked with him about re doing that bar asap. I'm taking it back to his house next week and it should only take him one night to fix it.
The tech guy also said I need a seat brace coming off the cage to the back of the seat. So I might try to get the guy to make that as well.

I'll post up pics when I get it back.

other then that I have not done much else to the car. But we are going to start assembling the motor next week.

I also took some time to get the other motor back in the camaro and got it running. I put about 45 miles on it the other day. It drives great.

Well I took the car back to the guy who did the cage last night. He cut the door bar out and made it just like in your picture above. We just went with a straight bar and curved it around the arm rest. It will pass tech now with out a dout. But the we left the passenger side bar the way it was. It will make it easier to get in and out of. I got a few pics of it, but I left the camera at the shop for another job I am working on. It's a big one. I will post a few this weekend.
